White Paper: The All New 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processor Family: Intelligence that Adapts to Your Needs
Responsive, energy-efficient
intelligent performance
One of the key pain points in using older PCs is lack of performance –
newer applications are not always responsive on older hardware. A
new 2010 Intel Core i5 vPro processor can run business productivity
applications up to 80% faster than a 3-year-old PC.
11
The new proces-
sors provide enough performance not just for today’s applications,
but also for future, heavily-threaded OSs and applications (see Table 6).
In addition, the all new Intel Core vPro processor family can help improve
productivity by automatically and intelligently adjusting to each user’s
needs. PC technology now adapts to your business – not the other
way around.
Some of the performance and efficiency features of a new 2010
Intel Core i5 vPro processor include:
• Protect confidential data up to 3.5x faster.
11
• Adaptable performance through new Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
Up to 2x faster multitasking.
11
Up to 80 percent faster on business productivity applications.

Energy Star compliance and energy efficient
The all new 2010 Intel Core vPro processor family is Energy
Star complaint.

These systems also take advantage of deeper processor sleep states
and lower idle power. Intelligent power management allows idle cores
to reduce their power consumption so that the system consumes
only the power it needs based on actual user workload. For example,
compared to a 3-year-old PC based on an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
processor, desktop PCs based on a new 2010 Intel Core i5 vPro
processor are 30% more energy efficient.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel Turbo Boost Technology is an exciting new technology embedded
in the all new 2010 Intel Core vPro processor family. This is an intelligent
allocation of extra processing power to match the workload of the
applications that need it most. If the processor is operating below its
maximum power, current, and temperature specifications, Intel Turbo
Boost can accelerate the processor – up to 20% faster – to provide addi-
tional performance for an application that needs more compute power.
In essence, Intel Turbo Boost identifies work load versus processor
specification levels, and automatically allows processor cores to run
faster than the base operating frequency. The maximum frequency
of Intel Turbo Boost is dependent on the number of active cores in the
processor. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel Turbo
Boost state depends on the workload and operating environment. With
today’s compute-intensive applications, this is a key technology to helps
improve productivity for both existing and future applications.
